Some one may have been trying to modify the fuel pump setup using a 3-port pump to provide a return line to help with vapor lock issues. Jim Bounds mentions this in his Daily Pose on 10/16/2014 here: http://www.gmccoop.com/dailypose.htm Just scroll down to that date from top page the link takes you to.
The woman selling that coach said that it had an electric fuel pump installed at one time but Dennis Richardson (A GMC shop in Covina CA.) bypassed the electric pump due to some problems. So not too sure what happened but the fuel lines and pump was modified at one time. I looked at the coach when it was for sale and it appeared that the fuel lines from the tanks had been replaced at one time so they may be OK. The coach has been sitting for some time so the gas in the tanks is likely bad. When I started a coach that had been sitting I put in 10 gallons of fresh fuel and a double shot of Archoil AR6200 fuel conditioner and had no problems. Another method is to hook up a gas can to the fuel lines so you know you have fresh gas.
I might still have a stock fuel line somewhere left over from when I replaced it with an insulated one. However I just moved and things are still in a state of disarray for awhile. I looked a little with no luck but will try again Monday AM when I have some better light to work with. I have manuals and two coaches here that your son could look at if he needs to. I am in North Las Vegas about 7 miles west of Nellis. 760 221 5030
